A line of baby strollers that pose a strangulation hazard and sheets that pose a suffocation hazard are part of this week's recalled consumer products. Faulty canning jar lifters and wall ovens are among several other recalled products.

BABY STROLLERS

DETAILS: Mutsy EVO strollers made between Feb. 2012 and Nov. 2012 with the following model numbers: MT12-03, MT12-11, MT12-14, MT12-31, MT12-34, MT12-37, MT12-39, MT12-42, MT12-43 and MT12-48. The model number and date code can be found underneath the stroller seat on a white sticker. The strollers have black or silver-colored metal frames with brown, navy blue, black, or white seats. “EVO” is printed on the lower back frame of the stroller. They were sold between April and Dec. 2012.

WHY: The opening between the grab bar and seat bottom of the stroller can allow an infant's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed.

DETAILS: 4moms breeze cotton jersey playard sheets made by Thorley Industries LLC. The sheets are cream-colored, cotton jersey fabric. They were sold as an accessory to the 4moms breeze play yard. “4moms” is printed on a black tag sewn onto the sheet. Item number 4M-009-10-000101 is printed on the packaging and UPC 817980011137 is printed on the sheet's packaging and on a white warning tag sewn onto the sheet. They were sold in December and January.

WHY: The sheets are too small for the play yards. A sheet that does not properly fit the play yard poses an entrapment hazard that could lead to suffocation.

INCIDENTS: None reported.

HOW MANY: About 1,440.

CANNING JAR LIFTERS

DETAILS: One Handed Jar Lifter imported by Progressive International Corp. The tongs are designed for lifting canning jars out of boiling water. The lifter is red with white handles. It is made of plastic and metal with a nylon coating. They were sold from Feb. 2012 to Oct. 2012.

WHY: The jar lifter handle can detach over time due to a missing stainless steel core in the hinge. This can cause the tongs to fail to grip and allow a jar being lifted to fall, posing a laceration hazard to the user.

INCIDENTS: None reported.

HOW MANY: About 22,700 in the U.S. and 3,800 in Canada.
